US Vice President J.D. Vance said that any possible agreement between Russia and Ukraine is unlikely to satisfy either side, and that after any version of the peace agreement, both Moscow and Kiev will probably be left “unhappy.” He added that the United States is striving for a solution that both countries can accept.
“It’s not going to make anyone very happy. Both the Russians and the Ukrainians will probably end up unhappy,” he said in an interview with Fox News.
US President Donald Trump said on Friday that he would meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on August 15 to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine.
Trump said that Russia and Ukraine are close to a ceasefire agreement that could end the three-and-a-half-year conflict, and that it is possible that this would involve Ukraine handing over a significant amount of territory.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, however, said on Saturday that handing over the territory would violate the Ukrainian constitution, adding that “Ukrainians will not give their country to the occupiers.”
In an interview with Fox News, recorded on Friday, Vance said the United States was working to arrange a meeting between Putin, Zelensky and Trump, but that he did not think it would be productive for Putin to meet with Zelensky before talking to Trump.
“We are at a point now where, frankly, we are trying to see how to organize meetings and things like that — when these three leaders could sit down and talk about ending this conflict,” Vance said.
